Good morning ladies!
My name is Britt and I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. Blood tests came back ,"normal"...ovaries showed classic signs of the dreaded pcos. It took 3 years for a correct diagnosis. I'm sure many of you can relate! I start a regimen of Metformin ( Glucophage) and birthcontrol as of today. Nervous, and scared! I am concerned about my weight, it has gone from 145 to 190...trying to eat "correct" foods, ie: whole grains, sourdough, low GI fruits, lots of fresh veggies and an exercise regimen. Any suggestions out there??
welcome to sc i found that stopping wheat/dairy helped me lose weight once i found i am intollerant to them. here is a link to the diet/exercise section of sc for you
